It's been quite a Tour of attrition so far and we haven't even reached the end of the first week!
Chris Froome and Mark Cavendish added to Britain's horror year of sport; both riders are out of the Tour de France - Froome pulled out the day before leaving Team Sky's Tour hopes in the hands of Aussie Richie Porte.
At least Jack Bauer, wearing 93, is still very much in the Tour. He finished the latest stage today to Reims in the peloton - classified a credible 19th.
Germany continued their brilliant year of sport with Andre Greipel this time taking compatriot Marcel Kittel's place for the stage honours.
So Jack is 125th overall, 32 minutes and 17 seconds behind leaders Vincenzo Nibali, Jakob Fulgsang and ladies' man, Peter Sagan. Jack is also the lead and sole Kiwi in the race following Greg Henderson's retirement from the race as a result of his big crash.
